Abstract: Searching for a parking space in most metropolitan areas, especially during the rush hours, is difficult for car drivers. This problem arises from not knowing where the available spaces may be at that time; even if known, many vehicles may pursue very limited parking places to cause serious traffic congestion. In this project, we design and implement a prototype of smart parking (S-Park) system that allows drivers to effectively search and reserve the available parking spaces using an android application. By polling the parking status from the sensor networks deployed in parking lots, the reservation service is affected by the change of parking status. The drivers are allowed to access this system application on their Android Smartphones. The proposed reservation-based parking policy has the possibility to simplify the operations of parking systems, as well as minimize traffic congestion caused by parking searching thus making the parking system two-way efficient, that is, cost wise and time wise.
